After declaring war on the Tea Party and often showing nothing but contempt for grassroots conservatives that powered Republicans to record gains in the 2010 midterm elections, Karl Rove whined that the GOP may not take back the Senate this year because of the lack of enthusiasm for his establishment-approved candidates.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Rove notes that even though Obama's "job approval numbers are lousy, no Democrat in a competitive Senate race polls regularly above 50%, GOP enthusiasm is high, and independents are trending Republican... each passing day provides evidence as to why a GOP Senate majority is still in doubt."
After declaring war on conservatives and the Tea Party last year, Rove now realizes that the very voters the establishment trashed are not donating to more moderate and establishment Senate candidates in states like North Carolina and Colorado. Rove says that "Republican candidates and groups must step up" to reduce the fundraising gap with Democrats. He said "Republicans must reach a certain sufficiency of advertising in the next six weeks" to "tip the needle in the GOP's direction."

That magnificent bastard is now just a bastard.
The price of Winning Ugly....
Discarding your own base, then whining about “no support”, SHOULD be cause for introspection.
Barack Hussein Obama won in 2012 because four million Republicans stayed home. Give them a reason to come out to vote FOR somebody, and they shall return.
RINO’s must be defeated.
If RINO’s get elected, then we will get more RINO’s.
Do not vote for Republicans who crush conservatives and conservative policies.
Karl Rove ranks No 1 of people who were on fire who I WOULD NOT Piss on to put out the flames. Fat, Disgusting SOB!
Turd Blossom in full bloom.
Gee .
Going left isn’t working out like he’d thought!
I have been called a racist by the Republican establishment. Why would I continue to support an organization that speaks of me in such a slanderous manner?
This!
Karl Rove is a sad, fat, little $hit who is either a crypto-socialist or a amoral, self-serving grifter. Maybe he is both.
^ “I’m the only one professional enough in this room that I know off to carry this Glock 40” ...boom...lol
After going to war against 80% of their base, the GOP is a party with no base. The GOP has lost the trust of the conservative base. Even the liberals could not have done a better job than this.
But he'll always have a job shining shoes at the DNC.
After clearly demonstrating that the GOP considers conservatives to be the enemy, as much as do the Democrats, Rove is finding the “we are the lesser of two evils” pitch to not work anymore.
How stupid are they to suddenly be surprised by this?
Mere hours after the networks declared victory for Obama in 2012, someone's spin machine started claiming that fourteen million had stayed home, and that every one of them was an Evangelical Christian who wanted to spite Romney. Which group is best served by such a claim?
Well stated alloysteel. Let’s hope some people in the GOPe are listening.
We are so much better off because those four million Republicans stayed home in 2012, NOT! Everyone who stayed home or voted for a libertarian candidate that did not have a chance to win out of protest did exactly what the Democrats wanted. May well have gone in to the booth and pulled a D lever.
Democrats will by putting up the candidates they need to win in certain states. They hold their nose and vote for them knowing owning the House or Senate majority is most important. We must do the same. Then it is simply a matter of getting the right people in leadership positions over time to carry the agenda.
Republicans suffer ‘battered wife syndrome’ from the Democrats.
Conservatives suffer ‘battered wife syndrome’ from the GOP Elites.

And after being insulted by them, they’ve devastated people financially (by not challenging Obama’s crazed economic “policies”) so that no one has money to donate. Duh!
